Nice Girls Don't Bite Their Neighbors by Molly Harper
Narrator: Amanda Ronconi
Length: 8 hrs and 23 mins
Date Read: March 2012
Genre: Fantasy, Urban Fantasy
More Information:Just as Jane Jameson’s unlife seems to be stabilizing, fate sinks its fangs firmly into her butt. Despite her near-phobia of all things marital, her no-frills nighttime nuptials to her sexy boyfriend Gabriel are coming along smoothly. But the road to wedded bliss gets bumpy when a teenage acquaintance is fatally wounded in front of Jane’s shop and she turns him to save his life. The Council pronounces Jane responsible for the newborn vamp until he can control his thirst.
Jane’s kitchen at River Oaks barely holds enough Faux Type O to satiate the cute teen’s appetite and maintain Gabriel’s jealous streak at a slow simmer. As if keeping her hyperactive childe from sucking the blood out of the entire neighborhood isn’t enough to deal with, the persnickety ghost of Jane’s newly deceased Grandma Ruthie has declared a war on the fanged residents of River Oaks. Suddenly,
choosing monogrammed cocktail napkins and a cake that she can’t eat seems downright relaxing in comparison.Tensions inside the house are growing…and outside, a sinister force is aiming a stake straight for the center of Gabriel’s heart. Most brides just have to worry about choosing the right dress, but Jane fears that at this rate, she’ll never make it down the aisle for the wedding all nice girls dream of…

First Thought when Finished: Jane + Being a Mom (Sire) = Priceless in Nice Girls Don’t Bite Their Neighbors by Molly Harper!
What I Loved: This is one of my favorite series on the planet. Molly Harper is just fantastic at combining humor, heart, and a little heart-beating action in her stories. In this particular entry into the series, she managed to make Jane grow up a bit without losing her sense of humor. The whole storyline of Jane becoming a Mom (sire) to a teenage vamp was just brilliance. She truly hit it out of the park with Jane trying not to sound like a mom and failing miserably. The best part, for me, was the ever-so-polite (and I mean it)redneck bad guy. I was rooting for everything to work out and Molly made it happen. I was just grinning ear to ear when the book ended.
What I Liked: We got to see more of Jane interacting with her family which is always a hoot. I like that they are such a big part of her life even if they don’t see eye to eye. Plus, Jane has a fantastic group of friends that are around. I just really like when an author spends the time to make a character well-rounded with friends and family.
Final Thought: I do hope there will be more books in this series!
Audio specific review: At first I was not a fan of A.R.’s voices but now I can’t imagine anyone else doing this series. She is fantastic at grabbing Jane’s personality and making it shine!

During her non-reading time you can find her hanging with her rescue furr children named after book characters: Lizzie a beautiful cattle dog mix (Pound Pup), Cinder a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Pound Pup), and Minerva a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Foster Fail). Gathering with friends and family, attending conventions, watching movies/tv shows, rooting for the 49rs, and crocheting.

I have book #2 so far, but I will not listen to it until I get book #1. I have to read/listen to a series in order for the first time. Re-reads are fair game though. I’m working on getting the rest of this series asap! Amazing review as usual! 🙂
Um I TOTALLY love this cover!!! This sounds like a FUN 'read for fun' book!!! Lol
She has fantastic titles!
I think you will *adore* them 🙂
Save them for when you really need to smile!
It does grow on you–in that weird aunt voice kind of way LOL
Probably book 1—it was my least favorite of the series!
You won't be disappointed! It was soooooooooo fun 🙂
LOL- I think that might be the best book title ever!!!!
YES! I am getting these books for review! I can't wait to snort. Hm… that doesn't sound right…
I read book 1 and then…oh I am bad, I got book 2 and 3 waiting but have not read them yet!
Ha! I'm not a fan of the narrator's voice either, but then it does kind of just grow on you, huh. LOL
I don't know which one of these I read but I wasn't enraptured. I'd better give Molly and the gang another chance! Especially, seeing how it got your "snort-meter" (omg–that lady's hilarious! She looks like she's about to fall out of her bustier!).
I love this series too. I'm about to start reading this one today. I can't wait to meet the polite redneck bad guy! 🙂
